Ok - can do that manually, there are not too many... > >> Question 2: Could an option "Remove file" be a added to the context- >> menu when I right-click on a file-icon in the file view in the right >> pane when I am looking at the list view?

In ITunes, you get two warnings: One when you delete an entry and another that asks whether you want the local mp3-files be moved to trash as well. > > We thought that Delete is pretty obvious for deleting as it is > ubiquitous. We could add it to the context menu though. I think it wouldn't hurt to have it in the context menu. To me looking at context menus is a common way to find out what the possibilities of an application are.
